Last weekend I was lucky enough to go to the English Wine Producers Trade and Press Tasting, which hilighted just how far English wine has come with over 120 great wines on show.

With so much diversity in English wine, alongside quality to rival the top wine-producing countries in the world, I left with a great sense of pride of what English wine producers had achieved. It was a great frustration when I later found that Vivino would not acknowledge any of my ratings as a recognised Regional Style, so that we can more easily spread the good word about English wine.

I understand that a few Vivino members have already made attempts to contact Vivino about this with no success or response, so I am starting this petition to gather support for the cause in order to present a stronger update request from Vivino. I greatly appreciate your support - let's give English wine and its producers the recognition that they so richly deserve!

Vivino remains silent on our requests so I am preparing a formal dossier to send to their product team. Post this link on your social media feeds to ensure our campaign stays visible to their staff. Email their support desk today and demand they add English wine as a regional style.

The momentum behind this petition proves that our producers deserve a seat at the table. Copy the link to this page and send it directly to your local wine shop or tasting group right now.

The English white wines and sparkling wines are such good quality (and the fizz sought after), it deserves own classification

It truly is time that Vivino recognised English Wine as a Regional Style on Vivino... Perhaps also to recognise English Sparkling and Still separately...

Yes! This needs to happen. English Wine scooped 10 Gold IWSC Awards which is unquestionably greater than many of the varieties they recognise!

Yes! I've been longing for Vivino to expand their regional listing for years.

For still and sparkling, absolutely!

Probably warrants two regional wines: English Sparkling Wine and English Table Wine or similar
